Covering more than one-third of North America, Canada extends southward from the North Pole to the United States border and across six different time zones.

Canada: Olympic Tradition

Canada has participated in every Olympic Winter Games, and is 7th on the all-time medal chart with 119 (38 gold, 39 silver and 42 bronze). Canada has never won a gold medal at a Games, Summer or Winter, that it has hosted; expect that to change in 2010.
